FEMA Issues An Apology
Daily Wire via X ^ | 11/08/24

FULL STATEMENT:

"FEMA helps all survivors regardless of their political preference or affiliation and we are deeply disturbed by this employee’s actions. While we believe this is an isolated incident, we have taken measures to remove the employee from their role and are investigating the matter to prevent this from happening ever again. The employee who issued this guidance had no authority and was given no direction to tell teams to avoid these homes and we are reaching out to the people who may have not been reached as a result of this incident. This is a matter that we take extremely seriously and we are doing everything we can to make sure all survivors receive support from FEMA. To date, we have helped over 365,000 households impacted by both Hurricanes Helene and Milton in the state of Florida and have provided over $898 million in direct assistance to survivors. We are horrified that this took place and therefore have taken extreme actions to correct this situation and have ensured that the matter was addressed at all levels. Helping people is what we do best and our workforce across the agency will continue to serve survivors for as long as it takes."

I know a guy from my last military assignment at the Pentagon. He retired as a Master Sergeant and was a hard-charging, logical leader AND conservative.

After a few years post-retirement and working at FEMA, I had to delete him from my friends list.

This woman, Washington, isn’t about to go down alone. She has already called out that this was standard operating procedure in areas around the country. This adds light to the way parts of North Carolina were treated.

“They are implying it was only one employee.”

NFW was it only that one employee. Nobody believes that. It came from the top.

It wasn’t just one employee.

And it wasn’t just yard signs.

I’ll bet bureaucrats have been putting the FEC’s donor database to good use.

And there are ways to check, aren’t there...

Likely unemployed. She was fired from her FEMA reservist job and private sector job.

Agree 100% and the woman fired has already come out saying this.
